LT3579/LT3579-1
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The following example calculates the power dissipation
in the LT3579 for a particular boost application:
(VIN = 5V, VOUT = 12V, IOUT = 1.5A, fOSC = 1MHz,
VD = 0.5V, VCESAT = 0.185V).
To calculate die junction temperature, use the appropriate
thermal resistance number and add in worst-case ambient
temperature:
TJ = TA + θJA • PTOTAL
where TJ=Die Junction Temperature, TA=Ambient Tem-
perature, PTOTAL is the final result from the calculations
shown in Table 4, and θJA is the thermal resistance from
the silicon junction to the ambient air.
